Ford Sierra RS Cosworth

The Tamiya Ford Sierra RS Cosworth mainly comes in two different racing liveries.

I was not much keen on the idea of toying with decals, so I decided to build it as a street version of the famous rally car.

I built it while being abroad, with no access to parts box; this model could have been much better detailed, notably on the interior level with seatbelts, photo-etched enhancements and quite a few other elements.

None of the less, the body proportions are quite well replicated, sharp, as most Tamiya kits.

I chose white, a color quite widespread on this model during the eighties.

This kit builds up smoothly; no fit issues. You will just have to carefully sand the mold lines on all bumpers.

I built two when they were new out. One was the racer, which I saw regularly as a marshal @ Silverstone circuit, and the second was built as the road version for my son's boss who had a standard Sierra Cosworth and an RS 500 version in black.

Well done elbeik on yours it looks great in white and sits just right on the road.
